Frame rails

[SHOdaddy68]

Those are NOT frame rails. They are stamped sheet metal floor supports and they are NOT designed to hold the weight of the vehicle. If you lift the vehicle at that location you are putting all the weight on the floor pan. I've seen more that a few vehicles with damaged floor pans as a result of improper lifting.

thanks for that piece of info. it is not worth the risk. I will just remove the ramp section and position the Q.J. I was just getting lazy in my old age.

Hi Brian, Does that seem a little odd to you? Structure is structure. Weight is weight.
If a point has enough structure to support a given weight, and the device doing the lifting (Dynamic) or supporting (Static) that weight at that point is rated to do so safely... See where I'm going with this?? I think we should include the points they're using as safe. Don't you think?

I get exactly what you’re saying, I have no idea why it would matter
